Nice find with woolwood9 today.
We enjoyed the drive / walk around the area.
Stamped logs as tm/ww NZ which may just look like a black smudge on plastic logs!

Another nice easy find. The hardest part is waiting for the traffic to pass. TFTC
Out and about with TW, doing some driveby's , walkbys etc, and just having a nice day cruising for caches. Thanks.
TF and I had planned a day up north picking up a few caches and this series neither of us had found so was lovely to drive along and pick them up. No problems with any of the caches and all placed in sensible places. TFTC
Great place to nestle!
Thanks Davieland....pleased to pick up few more smilies in your series!

With Gap (of Fap and Gap)... We decided to shape our weekend caching adventures around a couple of Gap's jobs... and then it started to rain.
The iPhone gps pointed to a small clump of trees, but Gap had other ideas. He found it quickly. TFTC.

Today I had to go to Waihi Beach then on up to Mangawhai to measure jobs. weather was not the best but jobs were inside.
Arranged with Squirrel Nutcase to come along as a passenger so we could collect a few caches in our travels.
We both got wet and muddy (which is all part of caching) along with 7 DNF's with several caches needing new log books.
We decided to stop in Wellsford for the night, had dinner at the local roast shop which was very very nice.
Perhaps owners would like to do some repairs in area. SLTFTC

Decided to take a drive down here today with the kids and get the new caches of this series. Rain clouds loomed but stayed away for the afternoon. Parked a few meters away from GZ in farm gate. Cache quickly located - signed and returned cache snugly into its hidey spot.
The weather was just right, so I took two days to go up to Waipu to get in some Geocaching. Also, I wanted to make sure all my camping gear was in order for next month's Mega in Wellington.
I found the cache but not exactly as the hint said. TFTC.

It was time to go to the next shade of green on my GC.COM calender for today so a trip to Te Arai was needed to get the numbers.
A slight deviation to pick up this and #4.2
Cheers for the cache.

Had seen these three new ones when I checked the emails this morning and was very keen to try for a FTF to keep my monthly streak going. July is not usually a good month for new caches to be published, so I wanted to give it a good shot.
After checking at afternoon tea time and still no found logs, I made a call to head off on the 75 km trip down to Te Arai. After missing out on the first one I found this avo, I was sure I would be too late for this one as well. And sure enough, KC had beaten me to this one by a couple of hours as well. Congrats to them. And thanks for putting out these new caches in the middle of winter. TFTC

Last night we noticed 3 new Te Arai Trail caches had been published. We decided to keep an eye on them, and if they remained unlogged after work today we would head north to attempt the First To Find. After gettting the FTF at 2.1, we were hopeful of another at 4.1. We were just retrieving the container when a local farmer stopped and asked if we were okay. Reassured him and he went on his way. Then we opened the container and signed the log for our second FTF of the afternoon
